Tuttosport: Tests passed, start scheduled – Fonseca smiles as Morata warms up with Spain | OneFootball

These have not been easy days for Alvaro Morata after the head injury he suffered at Milanello following a hard clash with Strahinja Pavlovic.

As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning, the worst is behind him and now everything seems to be back to normal for Morata. This was shown by the fact he played 21 minutes for Spain against Denmark and tonight he should take the field from the first minute against Switzerland.

Of course, the Milan staff hoped the striker could return to Milanello sooner given that the Spaniards are already sure of first place in their UEFA Nations League group, but the most important thing is that Morata is better and it will be a useful exercise to regain match fitness.

The paper have retraced the last few days for the 32-year-old. After the clash with Pavlovic, he spent a night in hospital and then responded to the call-up of his national team after undergoing the usual checks by the Spain medical staff, who gave reassurances about his condition.

Yesterday, the Spain captain was praised for the umpteenth time by the head coach Luis de la Fuente, albeit after some tension had erupted a few days prior involving Paulo Fonseca.

“I don’t know what else he should do, he’s a great captain and a great person. Morata will leave an important legacy and we will realise that over time. He played in great teams and won titles, he is an example for young people. I would like him to be recognised more,” he said.

After being used for a snippet of the match against Denmark, Morata should be a starter tonight against Switzerland, just as he will be on the pitch from the first minute on Saturday in Milan-Juventus.
